It’s really coming down to the wire now… have you gotten all your Christmas gifts sorted? In case you still need some ideas, I thought I’d share a few sweet gifts from Laura Mercier for your consideration!

There has not been a NARS collection that made me sit up and really desire to have and to hold for a very long time now. Some of my favorite releases from NARS involved collaborations with famous contemporary artists, and this year’s Holiday 2016 release in conjunction with famed photographer Sarah Moon was no exception.

Can you believe there are just 3 more weeks to Christmas?! I spent all weekend long cleaning, which is not the most glamorous thing to do, but made sweeter by the sight of the adorable Too Faced Holiday 2016! This collection has been out for awhile now, and I hope you managed to pick up what you needed at the recent Sephora Black Friday sale (here in Singapore), but in case you are still wondering, here are some swatches and closeups to get going!

It’s that time of the year again, when we makeup lovers must make that impossible decision and choose our beaus. Tom Ford has launched 25 new shades for its annual Lips and Boys collection, and returned 25 hot ones from previous years. These are highly covetable pocket-friendly miniature lipsticks from the luxury brand (0.07 oz/ 2.07 mL vs. 0.1 oz/3mL for the regular size), and limited edition hues that cannot be found anywhere else!

As promised, Bobbi Brown has a 2nd and even more exciting color makeup collection in store for us this Holiday 2016, and it’s utterly decadent! The Bobbi Brown Wine & Chocolate Collection is inspired by Bobbi’s 2 favourite things, and perfectly luxe and apt for Christmas.

It’s always fun checking out the holiday gift selections from The Body Shop, and this year was definitely an exciting one. Instead of snowflakes and mistletoe, The Body Shop brings us back to where it all came from – the wonderful, glorious natural forests!

Every Christmas, The Body Shop partners with a non-profit organization, and this year it has joined in the Bio-Bridges program that aims to restore 75 million square metres of forest by 2020! In addition to the original project location situated in Vietnam’s Khe Nuoc Trong forest, The Body Shop is extending help to Indonesia’s Batang Toru forest and the Endau Rompin landscape in Malaysia, to protect several endangered animal species such as the Red-shanked Douc, the Sumatran Orangutan and the Malayan tiger.

There are lots to choose from, and here are some of the highlights to pique your interest!
